        These kind of lots are fairly common in semi-rural areas in NA tbh. No incredible drama to it. They already have a house with nice lawn. But want to sell the farmland as they don’t want to farm. Sever out the house and garage, and you get weird shapes wedging into the farmland.

        It’s basically a relic of medieval land divisions

        Peasants had small plots of land and due to road access requirements to transport goods you get these long narrow plots
